- Is There Drilling Required to Install Roadmaster Sway Bar on 2017 Ford E-450 Class A
- The Roadmaster Rear Sway Bar part # RM-1139-147 that fits your 2017 Ford E-450 Class A motorhome does require drilling to install. New holes must be drilled in the frame to mount the Roadmaster end links. If you check out the attached install instruction link you can see more info on this.

- From everything I could find, your 2021 Sunseeker should actually be pre-wired for a brake controller. Especially since you have a 7 Way already on the back. This may be different on your model, but typically you will just access the brake controller connector behind the coin tray to plug the # 3034-P pigtail into. You can then mount the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 in the place that suits your needs and you are good to go.
With that said, if something weird was done, you may need to run...

- To install a brake controller in your 2015 Four Winds Majesty will require a brake controller like the BRAKE-EVN part # TK63VR, the install harness # 3034-P and the 4-way to 7-way adapter part # 37185.
The # 37185 plugs in to your current 4-way and then from the blue wire of it you'd run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot up to the blue wire of the brake controller.
The black wire of the adapter runs up to the positive post of your battery with 10...

- Brake controllers such as the P3 # 90195 install to a harness located behind the center console. I have linked a video that should help. It is on an earlier model year cab and chassis but its in the same location.
On the full size van models such as the E-450 cab and chassis used to make RVs the controller plugs into a port located behind and to the left of the emergency brake pedal. I have linked a video showing it as well.
Both the van chassis and truck chassis use the same brake controller...

- The Covercraft Premier Custom Auto Floor Mats - Carpeted # CC76335125 are made to work well on carpeted floors. They can work on your coated floors, but I do recommend using a double sided tape to help hold them in place.

- Velcro pieces should stick to the vinyl flooring just fine but you'll want to install the "carpet" side of the Velcro to your vinyl floor and see if that's enough to keep the WeatherTech All-Weather Front Floor Mats # WTW51TN in place as I don't think the other end of the Velcro will stick to this thick rubber mat.
If that doesn't work then I recommend getting piece of carpet you can secure to your floor so the floor mats have something to grip to.

- With SumoSprings # SSF-106-40 installed on your 2017 Thor motorhome built on the Ford E-350 van chassis the springs will be engaged all the time. This means that the vehicle won't have the natural sag that it would with the stock bump stops and the vehicle may ride slightly higher. But it won't lift the vehicle any higher than it would naturally sit if there was little or no weight on the front axle. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

- You can replace the front sway bar only on your motorhome with a 2017 Ford E-450 chassis, but the best way to enhance the ride of your motorhome is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar, which are superior to OEM sway bars. After that you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar and then steering stabilizer. The combination of these three parts will dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your driving experience.
I recommend starting out by replacing your...

- According to my research, your 2018 Ford E-Series Cutaway does not have a built-in brake controller adapter port which means a brake controller must be hardwired and the plug you are referring to is not for a brake controller. In order to install a brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90885 on your cutaway you will need a 4-way part # HM11140495, 7-way like part # ETBC7, and extra wire like part # 10-2-1.

- Are you sure your wheels have lug covers on them? If you can see a flange around the base of the lug they are most likely the covers which is what the part # WM8211 is designed to remove. If there is no flange and you tap them with something metal and they sound solid and not like a thinner cover then you are most likely dealing with the actual lug nuts. In the picture I attached you can see a flange around the lug in the picture.
I also attached a review video for these lug pliers for...

- In regards to the Solera 18V Power RV Awning Conversion Kit part # LC434730, you should have no problem moving both arms down a bit for clearance in either direction. The awning rail is usually oversized so there should be room for adjustments here. This may or may not leave mounting holes exposed from the old arms but they can be filled with some silicone and would not cause any issues.

- I can tell you definitively that the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053 is a direct bolt-on installation for a 2018 Ford E-450.
This hitch is not welded on, and no holes will need to be drilled in your frame; you will only need to enlarge one of the holes and trim the front fascia.
I have added a link to a video install for you to check out as well of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053.

- The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-147 does indeed require drilling to install, though that is not the correct fit for your 2022 Thor Vegas 24.3. I verified directly with Roadmaster the correct fit for a rear anti-sway bar on your rig is the following:
- Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM83ZR
The # RM83ZR also requires drilling, in this case a 17//32" hole in the frame rail to bolt on the endlink. That said, the front anti-sway bar does not require drilling to install, and the...

- Because the GoPower # 34275013 inverter isn't a vehicle specific part, we don't have installation instructions that are specific to your 2018 Thor Majestic 23-A Class C motorhome.
I'd suggest looking over the linked instructions provided by GoPower, which should give you a good idea if the installation is something you can comfortably handle yourself. Also, an inverter of this type would need to have a sub panel installed which makes the install fairly complicated.
Given that, unless...

- Some older model years of the E-350 had their connectors located behind the center of the dash above the stereo. This is shown in the linked photo. Ford's larger F-53 chassis did often have their brake controller ports positioned near the steering column.
It is easy to check your OEM connector to confirm that it is a trailer brake controller port. One of the terminals in that connector should have constant +12V power at all times; another should have power ONLY when you press the brake...

- First check behind the center console on the passengers side or below the center console for a factory brake controller plug on the RV. If you find a plug and it has numerous pins then you would need brake controller harness # 3034-P. If it is more square with just 4 to 6 pins then you would need # 3035-P but it is unlikely that it will take 3035-P. I have linked videos featuring both harnesses for you.
I do recommend the Tekonsha P2 # 90885 because it is one of the most reliable controllers...

- The Tekonsha wiring adapter for brake controller # 3034-P plugs into the connector behind your vehicle's dashboard. To reach the connector, first locate the notch in the access panel in the center of the dash, near the passenger side. Using a trim panel puller, carefully pry the panel out and undo the locking tabs to remove the panel. You will find the mating connector behind this portion of your dashboard. I've attached a video to assist as well as a photo to help.

- If the Ford E-450 cutaway chassis your Class C is built on has a factory 7-way trailer connector it should also have a connection port for a trailer brake controller. You should find this behind the small dash panel shown in the linked photo. The brake controller harness you referenced, part # 3034-P, will work for any Tekonsha or Draw-Tite trailer brake controller, including popular options like the Prodigy P3 # 90195, the P2 # 90885 and the Primus IQ # TK90160.

- Adding Item # RM-1139-117 on your 2017 E-Series Cutaway motor home may or may not require holes to be drilled in the frame rails for the end links. On some chassis the holes will not be there and would require them to be drilled.
If you adding a rear sway bar and want to get the best ride quality I also recommend adding Item # RM-1139-176.
Both sway bars working together will provide the best reduction in body roll.
